Jarrod Bowen and Dinos Mavropanos were two of West Ham’s best players in their 4-0 victory over Wolves on Friday.
The Hammers broke the deadlock in the 42nd minute when Bowen’s inviting cross found Mavropanos’ head from eight yards out.
The centre-back’s bullet header beat Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa in the far corner and brought the London Stadium to life.
Bowen has since revealed his key advice for Mavropanos before the game, which paid dividends against Wolves.

West Ham United's Konstantinos Mavropanos celebrates scoring his side's first goal during the Premier League match between West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers at London Stadium on April 10, 2026 in London, United Kingdom.
Jarrod Bowen urged Dinos Mavropanos to attack crosses before Wolves game
Bowen revealed to whufc.com after the match that he had been telling Mavropanos to make more runs into the box.
The defender proved against Manchester City weeks ago that he is probably West Ham’s most dangerous aerial threat.
He put his heading to good use again in the victory over Wolves by meeting Bowen’s cross with a super finish.

“He (Mavropanos) always gets in good areas in the box,” Bowen said. “I always tell him to just run in the box because his timing and his heading ability are really good.
“His finishing is all down to him, and he deserved his two goals and the Man of the Match award because he was brilliant.”
Mavropanos has been excellent at both ends recently – a significant reason the Hammers are no longer in the relegation zone.
Taty and Dinos with braces, but did anyone else stand out more?
Meanwhile, Bowen also praised Taty Castellanos for his excellent performance in West Ham’s 4-0 win on Friday night.
Castellanos had only scored twice in 11 Premier League games since his January move from Lazio before his brace against Wolves.
Bowen highlighted the striker’s impressive “work rate” and suggested he will be a fan favourite at the London Stadium.
“He’s (Taty) been brilliant for us,” Bowen added. “His work rate is great, and I think the fans love him for that.
“He deserves the goals he got tonight, especially after the disappointment of having one disallowed against Leeds. He deserves all the credit.”
